	'''Guming''' (Simplified Chinese: 古茗; Pinyin: ''Gǔmíng'') is a Chinese new-tea chain associated with '''mid-price, large-scale''' made-to-order tea shops. This ~~stub~~ supports navigation from [[Chinese Drink]]; it is not a store guide.		'''Guming''' (Simplified Chinese: 古茗; Pinyin: ''Gǔmíng''; brand also rendered Good me) is a Chinese new-tea chain associated with '''mid-price, large-scale''' made-to-order tea shops. This entry supports navigation from [[Chinese Drink]]; it is not a store guide.

	== ~~Category role~~ ==		== History and expansion ==
	Guming is a useful contrast to both value players such as [[Mixue]] and brand-led peers such as [[Heytea]]. ~~Drink styles sit in the same broad family as~~ [[~~Bubble~~ Tea]] ~~retail~~. Collaboration activity is generally described as more restrained than the densest coffee or IP-led tea campaigns~~; still archive~~ dated events on [[Drink IP Collab Timeline]].		Guming grew from Zhejiang and neighboring eastern provinces into a nationwide franchise network densified province by province. Public listing documents describe a strategy of concentrating stores until same-store sales could stay healthy even as the wider industry slowed. By 31 December 2023 the company reported 9,001 stores; the network reached 9,778 by 30 September 2024 according to the same prospectus series.

			Guming Holdings Limited completed a Hong Kong Main Board primary listing on 12 February 2025 after a multi-billion-Hong-Kong-dollar offering. IPO materials positioned “Good me (古茗)” as China’s largest mid-priced freshly made tea store brand and the second-largest freshly made tea brand overall by 2023 GMV and store count (third-party CIC rankings cited in filings). Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangxi appear repeatedly as dense home markets in those disclosures.

			== Products and brand style ==
			The offer is classic mid-price made-to-order tea and milk tea aimed at everyday franchise streets rather than flagship café theaters. Drink styles sit in the same broad family as [[Bubble Tea]] retail. Positioning is a useful contrast to both value players such as [[Mixue]] and brand-led peers such as [[Heytea]]. Leaf taxonomy stays on [[Tea]].

			== Culture and collaborations ==
			Collaboration activity is generally described in industry talk as more restrained than the densest coffee or IP-led tea campaigns, though dated events still appear. Archive those on [[Drink IP Collab Timeline]]. Together with [[ChaPanda]] and [[Auntea Jenny]], Guming fills the mid-market band of the wiki’s modern tea brand table.

			Guming’s densification thesis—opening many shops inside already strong provinces before leaping outward—is often cited when analysts contrast eastern franchise tea with capital-city flagship strategies. That operational story, more than any single signature cup, is why the brand appears on this encyclopedia’s mid-price tea row.
